Canada's National Treasures

Did you know that Canada produced both the world's greatest actor and the greatest supermarket?

I was molded by these commercials and there are even earlier and more thrilling Shatner/Loblaws commercials. Are there some Canadian commercial collectors out there? Help educate the world and share our cultural heritage. I'd also love to see the old Dominion commercials too. With the "Mainly because of the meat" song.

Does anyone remember the episode of Star Trek where the Enterprise took on the Tribbles in a game of ice hockey? The Tribbles coach was a Klingon, the Enterprise's, Spock, of course. Shatner gets into an on ice frakas with the Tribbles... the whole team of them.

Nice, even though that supermarket can't be the greatest in the world judging by that commercial. Although I've never watched Star Trek, Shatner would make a great salesman regardless. I'm extremely jealous of you Canadians now. You guys seem to get all the cool stuff, like the British do, while American entertainment seems to be declining year after year.

Unlike if you're a Canadian yourself and realise you gimmick the brand American style. And it's not because you don't have the talent to up. It's mostly it works by finances, like the rest of our local festivals and artists who was paid so much.

They exist Canadians artists who can do work better than imitate the Americans, but that's what peoples rarely recognise.

I really like William Shatner. In some ways, he's a real jerk. But I've always thought that he could turn in amazing dramatic performances from time to time. And no one else made watching Star Trek so much fun.
